Access Forms & Reports For Dummies 8 reviews
Brian Underdahl
For Dummies, 2005
How not to be an Access dummy
First, it is important to realize what this book is not. It is not a complete Access reference book. It will not teach you database theory and all aspects of data normalization. It does not cover advanced techniques such as VBA programming, the ADO object model or using the Windows API.
So what do you get from this book? A fantastic introduction to developing forms, reports and queries. ...

Cisco Press, 2004
A Dummies Guide from Cisco with Linksys Plugs
Not that many years ago, many people felt they needed either a technician or a 12-year-old to install and set-up a PC. Many homes now are starting to have more than one PC. Yet broadband connections and high quality printers are expensive if you buy one for each PC. How can those costs be reduced? Add a home network.
Before you faint with anxiety, look at this very simple book. It will ...

Que, 1996
No finer book for the finer points of Excel
I am a heavy duty user of Excel and I support users of the application too. This is one of the best books I have seen on Excel's most powerful features. The chapters on array formulas and range names are the best I have read on the subject. This book is outstanding. I am here writing this review because I was hoping to order a copy for work.

Access 2007 Forms & Reports For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))3 reviews
Brian Underdahl, Darlene Underdahl
For Dummies, 2007
Great way to learn
I've got a LOT of Mr. Underdahl's books in my library, and have come to expect excellent coverage of whatever topics he writes on. I know how to use Access, but I'm not quite that up-to-speed on creating forms and reports and using the Query tool properly - this book fills in the blanks and shows you how maximize your time and financial investments in Access. The author also does a great job of ...

The Editors of PC Magazine

Good Bye Leo - Hello PC Magazine!
I bought the last 2 versions of Leo Laporte's TechTV book (I even have the one where they misspelled "Almanac" on the cover!) and have been a big fan. But, I have been reading PC Magazine longer than I have Leo's books, and when I discovered this little gem I was very excited. The PC Magazine Technology Almanac is jam-packed with tips, tricks, and insider information that I can actually use. ...

Create Your Own DVDs1 review
Brian Underdahl
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2003
review from TX
I got an advanced copy and read of the book. The idea of burning your own DVDs is still fairly new and the amount of software and tutorials out there is a little overwhelming at first. Mr. Underdahl has done a GREAT job of consolidating the info you need to get moving right away with your new DVD burner. He covers the majority of the leading software and gives good reviews of their functions ...

Excel 2002 Bible5 reviews
John Walkenbach, Brian Underdahl
Wiley, 2001
Excellent & comprehensive guide
I tutor students in the use of Excel, and I have found that this Bible is worth every penny. Walkenbach takes you into every nitty gritty detail, so that you can devise a fairly sophisticated lesson plan for those students who want to take their software know-how to a higher level. His Bible really lives up to its name. I recommend this book for basic to intermediate classes. Its only flaws? It ...

Cliffs Notes Making Windows 98 Work for You 2 reviews
Brian Underdahl
Cliffs Notes, 1999
Making Windows 98 Work for You
"Making Windows 98 Work for You" was very helpful in defining computer terms I had heard before, but never known their meaning. The book defined terms (i.e.GUI, operating system, and disk defragmenter) in a concise and understandable manner. I also liked the step-by-step descriptions of how to perform basic functions, such as add a program, arrange your desktop, or set up your Internet ...

The best reference book ever!
I love the Alan Simpson's Windows XP Bible! I never fail to find the answers to my questions in this book. Now, I don't have to keep a notebook of notes on how to do things on XP! I had a copy of the first edition, and this new edition covers so many other things that it is worth upgrading to.

my "secret weapon" for learning Director
I was recently taking a college course where we were required to use Director. The course didn't have a required book but I picked this one up anyway. This book has been a godsend to me. So many times I wondered "how would I do such and such?", and a quick glance inside the book gave me answer after answer. The book is very well layed out, and well indexed. The descriptions are well written, ...
